Validation died summer of '05Everybody needs validation. In some form or another, everybody wants it. A craving that every person needs to satiate. And you won't ever be satisfied, because once you achieve some form of it -- you only want more. Anyone who denies they attempts at validation, is a liar

Enh, the idea is to attract new sources, and the thinly veiled self-promotion is part of my thing. Close to 300 members since May isn't so bad.

Just as a point of order, your criticism here is every bit as much a part of the circle jerk you rail against. I could see if this were a fundamentally different stance for you, but really is it?

Wait, what. Do you have something to do with that comm? I was just noticing how every post is about you there.

As per your second thing: I don't know, I think the whole review thing is tired. Just doesn't interest me. Although I did rate someone at youcantwrite for the first time in a while after thinking about this post.

Yeah, I started the comm.

It is, a few of us were trying to come up with an updated version of it, but it just didn't happen. I haven't reviewed anything in quite some time either, but for some reason I did this morning.

Oh, haaaa. Guess it pays to read the info page.

It looked like a good idea, but I just see the same posts by the same people. All of the review people just moved to a new forum.

When I remembered LJ as a place to BS on my own time is when I came back to it. Validation now is in the form of a raise from my employer or positivity from those I care about.

Fuck everyone else.

And you're still hilarious.

[biscuiteater]

I agree, fuck everyone else. I want validation in the form of a JOB.

You knew this was coming

Your icon is mesmerizing- I can't stop watching that ass go.
